It's the sport that's sweeping the UK and beyond by storm. With approximately 1,200 clubs, 40,000 estimated players and with international teams formed around the globe, Walking Football is a life-changing game, aimed at the over-fifties.

Including anecdotes from Tom Moran, who made it to England's international walking football team, it also tells the story, not only about the sport and how the game is growing but also about its links to the NHS and social prescribing.

Social prescribing is set to be heavily developed over the next few years with the NHS referring patients to community services such as Walking Football. Social prescribing works for people with one or more long-term conditions, isolated or lonely people and those with complex social needs that affect their well-being. The book conveys the important message about looking after yourself over the age of fifty and also encourages the reader to get more active to boost mental and physical health.
